"Jun... Brother Jun, they are still behind. It's okay. I marked them all along the way..."
Ma Liu took a deep breath, picked up the military thorn and scratched it on the tree, but he did not dare to look directly at Zhang Guojun.
"What a bastard, you don't listen to what I say?!"
Zhang Guojun's eyes widened and he slapped Ma Liu on the head with a big slap. Ma Liu didn't even dare to hide. He staggered due to the slap. After he stood firm, he lowered his head and didn't dare to speak.
"No, if something happens, our brothers can't afford it. Let's go and look back..."
Zhang Guojun still understood the importance Zhuang Rui had in Hu Rong's heart. If anything happened, his whole family would be embarrassed to live in the Chinese town.
A person standing next to Zhang Guojun said hesitantly: "Brother Jun, we have been here for almost half a year. We can't even see a rabbit on the edge. Nothing will happen. Maybe they will follow after a while.
It’s over…”
Although they, the members of the mine protection team, live at the edge of the forest, they don't have time to go out hunting every day, and there are a lot of bullets. It's rare that Boss Hu will be merciful and let them come out to play. These people don't want to waste time.
"Lao Er, do you mean this too?"
After Zhang Guojun heard what the man said, he obviously hesitated. He also thought that nothing would happen on this road, otherwise he would not leave only one person behind and rush there with these people.
It's at the mountain col.
"Brother, let's block the mountain pass and leave something for them to fight with. Otherwise, if we arrive late and have nothing, wouldn't that ruin the interest of the guests?"
The second child was smarter and came up with a reason that Zhang Guojun couldn't refuse. Hu Rong asked them to accompany Zhuang Rui and others because they wanted to have a good time. This round of walking was just climbing the mountain. If they didn't hit anything
If so, that means fart.
"Then... okay, let's go to the mountain pass first. You guys, make more marks on the trees..."
Zhang Guojun thought for a moment and felt that nothing could go wrong at this edge, so he decided to go to the col and wait for Zhuang Rui and the others.
"Brother, then I..." Ma Liu looked at Zhang Guojun with a low eyebrow.
"Damn it, you go ahead, little bastard, if you don't obey me next time, I'll ask you to go up the mountain and dig a hole..."
Zhang Guojun kicked Ma Liu angrily, took off the spur from his submachine gun, and marked the place where he and others had just stopped.
"Brother Zhuang, we agreed before that we won't go if we can't keep up today. Let's go hunting with them later..."
Peng Fei, who had already run more than 20 meters, stopped when he heard Zhuang Rui's words, looked at Zhuang Rui who was following behind him and said.
"Hey, do you really think I can't run away from you? I'm so underestimating you, Brother Zhuang. Let's go..."
Zhuang Rui tightened the gun on his shoulder and waved his hand to signal Peng Fei to go ahead.
"Okay, if you can't hold it anymore, just say it and we can still turn around..."
Seeing Zhuang Rui's insistence, Peng Fei turned around helplessly and headed due north. He was very fast and could actually run in this dense forest full of towering trees. Otherwise, Peng Fei wouldn't have dared.
He boasts that he can cover a 40-kilometer round trip in four or five hours.
Zhuang Rui followed him not to be outdone. He ran a lot, which consumed more energy than Peng Fei. But Zhuang Rui was not afraid of this. When his legs and feet felt sore, he lowered his head and injected a little spiritual energy into them.
can recover.
However, sometimes he couldn't control his feet and would often bump into the trees in front of him. Not long after the meeting, Zhuang Rui's camouflage uniform was torn several times, and his face was scratched with blood from branches.
While Peng Fei was running, the military thorn in his hand also made marks on the trees on his way from time to time. However, the marks he made were extremely inconspicuous. These were the marks used by their special forces to communicate. Most people would just notice it.
It will only be thought that the bark falls off naturally.
After running continuously for more than 40 minutes, the trees in the forest became more and more dense, and the originally flat ground also had a slope, but it did not affect Peng Fei's speed at all, except that his breathing became slightly louder.
A little older, Peng Fei is like a machine that doesn't know how to tire, his legs are swinging constantly, walking through the dense forest like an ape.
After Zhuang Rui bumped into trees several times in a row, he learned to be smart. When running, he knew to have some energy left. Although he was not as fast as Peng Fei, he could still keep up. There was always more than ten seconds between the two.
The distance of 300 meters was not far away from Peng Fei.
"stop……"
After running downhill for a while, Peng Fei's body suddenly stopped. Zhuang Rui stopped for a moment and ran forward a few more steps.
Zhuang Rui thought that Peng Fei couldn't hold on anymore and wanted to rest, so he gasped and said triumphantly: "What...what's wrong? You can't...run away from me, right?"
Although his body did not feel tired, Zhuang Rui's heart could not withstand such a high-intensity rapid march, so after he stood still, he gasped for air. The camouflage uniform on his body was completely soaked with sweat.
Peng Fei's appearance was not much better than Zhuang Rui's. His hair was already wet and hanging on his forehead. After stopping, Peng Fei took out his knife and shaved off all the hair that was almost covering his eyes.
Yes, that look made Zhuang Rui quite funny.
However, Peng Fei's breathing was not as rapid as Zhuang Rui's, and his expression didn't seem to change much. After arranging his hair, his eyes kept staring at the trees in front of him.
"Why don't you leave?"
Zhuang Rui took out the kettle and drank some water, and looked at Peng Fei suspiciously. He also saw that Peng Fei's current state was much better than his own. You know, Peng Fei didn't have the spiritual energy to comb his body.
"Look at some trees, something seems wrong..."
Peng Fei motioned Zhuang Rui to look ahead with his eyes.
"There's nothing wrong with it, it's just that it's a little crooked..."
Zhuang Rui looked at it for a long time and found that the trees were not very tall and were a little slanted. However, this was normal in the forest. Even the trees that were coiled together in the shape of Zhou Gong's ceremony had been photographed before.
Got the photos.
"No, those are traces left by an explosion..."
Peng Fei's eyes became sharp. Although it may have been more than half a century since the explosion, he could still see some clues from those trees. The reason why he stopped was that Peng Fei was afraid that there were landmines buried in front of him.
If you accidentally go up there, no matter how many lives you take, it won't be enough.
Although this possibility is not high, because in more than half a century, countless animals will definitely pass through here. Even if there are landmines, they may have been detonated long ago. However, this is related to his family and life, so Peng Fei has to be cautious.
treat.
In the early days, Savage Mountain belonged to China's Yunnan Province, but later the British intervened and assigned it to Myanmar. The name of Savage Mountain comes from the fact that the mountains are densely forested and miasma is rampant. It is said that there used to be Savages.
This is why this uninhabited land with a radius of hundreds of miles is called "Savage Mountain".
In Burmese, Savage Mountain means "the place where the devil lives".
Deep in the Savage Mountains, there are overlapping mountains, vast forests like the sea, endless swamps in the woods, huge valleys and dense forests, wild wolves and ferocious beasts, and widespread malaria. Both Myanmar and China regard this place as a very dangerous place.
The Savage Mountain became known to the world only after a program commemorating the expeditionary force's battle in Myanmar was broadcast on TV not long ago.
At that time, 15,000 men of the Fifth Army of the Chinese Expeditionary Force crossed the Foreigner Mountains. After arriving in India, only three to four thousand men were left, less than a fraction. Of the more than 40 women who retreated with the army, only four survived.
Among the 100,000 Chinese Expeditionary Force troops who entered Myanmar to participate in the war, more than 10,000 Chinese soldiers died in the battle, but 50,000 died on Yeren Mountain.
Not only were tens of thousands of Chinese soldiers buried in Yeren Mountain, but the Japanese army also failed to gain favor here. Three Japanese divisions with 40,000 troops were also missing here and never came out of the mountain.
It can be said that this mountain with a radius of hundreds of miles is full of bones, and nearly 100,000 people have died here, so Peng Fei does not dare to take it lightly.
In fact, during World War II, the use of landmines was not very widespread. Those defeated generals still bothered to lay landmines to hinder the pursuers, and they all dug into the mountains desperately. Well, it may be more appropriate to say that they died, Du Yuming
This decision directly destroyed tens of thousands of troops.
"It's okay, let's go, Brother Zhuang, can't you tell, you are really a good long-distance runner..."
After Peng Fei checked around the area, his face relaxed, and he half-seriously joked with Zhuang Rui. He really admired Zhuang Rui in his heart.
You must know that Peng Fei used almost all his strength in that urgent march just now. In more than 40 minutes, he ran six or seven kilometers. Although it was only on the edge of Savage Mountain and the terrain was not difficult to walk, Zhuang Rui could not miss a step.
Even though he kept up, Peng Fei looked at him differently.
After knowing that Zhuang Rui's endurance was no worse than his own, Peng Fei's forward speed slowed down significantly, because when he arrived here, he had truly entered the Savage Mountain. These places may not have been entered in half a century. The towering
The huge trees make the light in the dense forest extremely dark.
As the two of them continued to move forward, Peng Fei had a long branch in his hand, and he was exploring the road ahead from time to time. He was afraid that dead branches accumulated over time would form a swamp pit, and it would also have the effect of alerting snakes.
Zhuang Rui saw several snakes covered with patterns burrowing into the depths of the dense forest, driven by Peng Fei's branches.
Due to the obstruction of dense trees, the air quality in the dense forest has become very poor. After walking another two or three kilometers, Peng Fei took out a bottle from the pocket of his camouflage uniform, poured out two pills, and swallowed one himself.
